Our Journey...

​talked about the emotion of anger during In-Focus with Mme Helen. What makes us angry and what are some strategies we personally use to acknowledge and deal with our anger?

did a self-evaluation about our current behavior at school and did a check-in regarding our Term 2 goals.

did a review of the historical timeline related to Asian immigrants and the Canada's West Coast in Socials. We also explored our second case study on the topic of discrimination towards First Nation Peoples in Canada. We discussed the Indian Law, residential schools, reserves and the banning of potlatches. We practiced reading a text with a partner and answering questions of our case study related to What is the main idea of the text? Who is involved? What? Why? How is this an example of discrimination? Which rights and freedoms of the Canadian Charter were not respected? What contributions have First Nations peoples given to Canadian society? We did an overview of all our answers as a whole class.

continued working on our individual stories in French and focused on the verb ''aimer''.

talked about abstract nouns versus concrete nouns in English and read examples of metaphor poems before getting creative and writing out our own version!

started our multiplication and division chapter in math. We explored how to multiply by ''jumping'' on a numerical line. We learned the vocabulary of factors, products and matrix. We practiced answering multiplication equations by referencing known equations. We practiced working out of our math manual as well as by exploring math centers with a partner.
